In collaboration with the She Is Foundation, we announced a strategic alliance to provide educational opportunities for vulnerable Colombian children to participate in the She Is Astronaut program.

It is an innovative program launched by the She Is Foundation to challenge gender stereotypes and empower future female leaders in STEAM areas. The program offers a 4-month academic experience that culminates with a week-long immersion at NASA's Space Center in Houston, where participants have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the exciting world of space exploration and receive mentoring from industry experts.

A new edition of the program

In the new edition of the program, Krisly Gutiérrez Camargo, an outstanding 14-year-old student from the Pies Descalzos- Lomas del Peyé school in Cartagena, will participate in the program. In this way, she will continue her education to contribute to a brighter future for herself, her family and her community.

"This alliance strengthens the mission of the Pies Descalzos Foundation, facilitating opportunities for more children like Krisly to access quality educational opportunities that allow them to empower themselves, develop and contribute to social equity."
